Spaces Lyrics
[Verse 1: Niall, Louis]
Who's gonna be the first one to start the fight?
Who's gonna be the first one to fall asleep at night?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?
[Pre-Chorus: Zayn, All]
We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Will we ever learn?
[Chorus: All, Niall]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
[Verse 2: Liam, Louis & Liam]
Who's gonna be the first one to compromise?
Who's gonna be the first one to set it all on fire?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Forgetting every single promise we ever made
[Chorus: All, Liam]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
Who's gonna be the first one to start the fight?
Who's gonna be the first one to fall asleep at night?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Who's gonna be the last one to forget this place?
[Pre-Chorus: Zayn, All]
We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Will we ever learn?
[Chorus: All, Niall]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
[Verse 2: Liam, Louis & Liam]
Who's gonna be the first one to compromise?
Who's gonna be the first one to set it all on fire?
Who's gonna be the last one to drive away?
Forgetting every single promise we ever made
[Chorus: All, Liam]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
[Bridge: Zayn, All]
We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Will we ever learn? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When will we learn?
[Chorus: All, Harry]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
[Post-Chorus: Harry, All, Niall]
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
The spaces between us
The spaces between us
[Outro: Niall]
The spaces between us
The spaces between us
We keep taking turns (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Will we ever learn? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When will we learn?
[Chorus: All, Harry]
Oh, spaces between us keep getting deeper
It's harder to reach ya, even though I've tried
Spaces between us hold all our secrets
Leavin' us speechless and I don't know why
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
Bye
[Post-Chorus: Harry, All, Niall]
Who's gonna be the first to say goodbye?
The spaces between us
The spaces between us
[Outro: Niall]
The spaces between us
The spaces between us
About
Genius Annotation
“Spaces” is the tenth track on One Direction’s fourth studio album which was due to be released on the 17th November 2014, however leaked 9 days early.
This song, contrasting with many others by One Direction, focuses on the anxieties surrounding strong relationships instead of the pleasures.
Although the tempo is very downbeat, the harmonies and melody bring about a much-needed sense of comfort and hope, further aiding their transition into a more mature sound.
